What does everybody like to use and if possible post some pics. I haven't found one I like yet, all too runny (if thats a word, and correct spelling...)
thanks.

tire shine? :confused
IMO tires should not be shiny at all, just uniform, dark, matte black, so they look new, kind of like this

All personal preference, though I am not a big fan of shinny tires; I like the nice matte look. Really looking forward to the Meguiar's tire shine coming out in January!

i have recently been experimenting with black shoe polish with a foam aplicator. It realy workes well and last a long time. makes tires look black but not to shinny and they stay that way for a while. if anyone is really intereste i will snap some pics but i maybe the only one to ever try this.

I use Mother's, I really like it. I remember it being a tad expensive(cant remember how much) but its well worth it IMO.

It lasts for a good amount of time as well. Here's a pic of it applied on my tires.

How about 303 aerospace protectantI've used that a couple of times on my tires. It leaves them looking nice (IMO), not real shiny but healthy. Good UV protection for the rubber, but it doesn't seem to last long.

I'm thinking I'll try that Griots Garage stuff next. Looks really nice on the blue X5 posted earlier.

Meguiars clear tire shine....spray on and wipe down with a tire sponge so it doesn't finish too glossy.
